firemaiden
I lie prostrate before my fellow worshippers at the Despicable Temple and her mouthpii, (plural of mouthpiece), and I humbly beseech you to hear my innermost confessions.
Part one:
Oh Fellow Worshippers, I hereby confess that I do not keep a Tarot Journal, I know not what a Tarot Journal is for, nor how you use it.
I have before me a notebook, begun during the first flower of my "engouement" for the art of tarot, and it has two pages per card, and I have coloured the page-edges to function like tabs, orange for wands, purple for swords, aquamarine for cups, and earth-brown for pentacles. On these pages, I once began comparative descriptions and interpretations for each card from each deck (this was possible when I only had four decks), and notes from places like (don't shoot me!) Joan Bunning, and sometimes (don't shoot me, please!) quotes from the Little White Book. (The book to the Roots of Asia is definitely worth consulting).
I confess, I confess, I have not touched this book since oh 2003 or so. And I never used it as it was intended, that is, I think I haven't.
Please, oh my fellow worshippers, allay my feelings of shame and misery at my failure to adhere to this commandement. (Does anyone know what the other ten Tarot Commandments are?)
Please tell me anything you wish to tell me about your tarot journal. Here are some of the questions I have in case you think you have nothing to say:
Do you keep a tarot journal? why?
How often do you write in it?
What kinds of things do you write?
Do you refer to it often, or ever?
How long have you been keeping it?
In what way is useful to you?
What does it look like?
Do you have more than one volume?
Has the tarot journal ever come in handy?
What do you learn/gain etc, from keeping a tarot journal.
etc.
Speak, oh my brethren and sistren...
